Since they died they have solved ten thou

wall that ever and anon it seems to be almost
broken through-broken through from our

broken through from the other side by
strange influences which men in their lgnor-

BANGOR, Me-, May 5.-The water remains
at about the same height. The bridge
piers are being slowly undermined.

banks. Farmers will be weeks behind
with their crops. All the trestle-work sup
porting the railroad at Saltwater has been
torn away and houses there have foated
down the river. The Piscataquis river rose
twenty-tiv feet, making highways impas-
sable. The new wooden mill dam and most

FOUND WATERY GRAVES,

! Spectators at Baptismal Ceremony in
New Orleans Precipitated Into the
River by the Breaking of a Railing
Eleven Persons Drowned.
New ORLEANS May 9-Several colored
congregations of Baptist churches in this
city have long made it practice to hap.
tie members in the Mississippi river at
certain selected points, both in the upper
and lower districts of the city. The swift
current of the river has always made the
custom more or less dangerous. Yesterday
an accident happened by which eleven
lives are known to, and more may,
have been lost. The Mount Zion
Baptist Church has been bap-
thing its converts at the foot of Legard
street, in the Third district. Beside the
spot runs wharf, which extends into deep
water Yesterday morning the congrega-
ton gathered at the spot for the usual Ger.
emonies, a large crowd assembled on the
wharf, and in the midst of the exercises
the railing surrounding it gave way and
fully fifty people were precipitated into the
river. Around the wharf were number of
skiffs, and into them many of the people
were thrown, overturning several boats,
and adding to the number struggling in
the water. The occupants of these skiffs,
which then fioated, set to work ard res
cued all those who could be reached. AS
stated, however, eleven are known to have
been drowned, and it is believed that from
five to eight more persisted.

went into the water, had a child in her
arms. She struggled until she came to the
surface and held the child up I'm til one OF the
receiving skiffs reached her and the infant
was seized and taken on board. She then
sunk and was carried away by the cur
rent A white woman was drowned under
exactly similar circumstances, and the
rescued baby is now held by the police for
Identification.
Many people were injured. The utmost
excitement prevails in the district where
the accident occurred, and up to a late
hour parties in skiffs were searching for
bodies.
